🍂 Fall Home Maintenance Tip: Disconnect and Store Your Outdoor Hoses! 🍂

As temperatures drop, it’s time to prep your outdoor faucets and hoses to avoid damage. Here’s how:

1️⃣ Close shutoff valves to your outdoor faucets.
2️⃣ Release water pressure by squeezing the spray nozzle.
3️⃣ Disconnect the hose and let it drain fully.
4️⃣ Store the hose in your garage or basement to keep it safe from freezing temps!

Bonus: Keep your hose neatly stored with a hose hanger—find one for about $10 online or at your local hardware store! 🏡💧
